Summary

This trial is testing a new method called DiviTum to see if it can help determine the right levels of medications for breast cancer patients. The trial will focus on patients with a specific type of breast

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with ER/PR positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who are currently receiving CDK 4/6 inhibitors. It aims to optimize medication levels using the DiviTum-TKa test, which measures a biomarker associated with cell growth.
What is being tested?
The study tests if the DiviTum-TKa assay can help find the best dose of CDK 4/6 inhibitor medications and improve treatment by monitoring drug interactions and patient compliance in those undergoing first-line therapy for metastatic hormone-positive breast cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on optimizing medication dosage through testing rather than introducing new drugs, side effects may be more related to adjustments in current treatments or potential issues from drug-drug interactions.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Proportion of patients with thymidine kinase activity (TKa) values that switch from profile 3 to profile 1 or 2 after medication compliance and drug-drug interaction assessment
Rate of improvement in CDK4/6 inhibitor response (i.e. moving from profile 3 to profiles 1 or 2)
Secondary outcome measures
CDK4/6 inhibitor response via TKa levels upon CDK4/6 inhibitor dose reductions or changes in CDK4/6 inhibitor regimen due to adverse events
Clinical benefit rate (CBR) in patients with sub-optimal (profile 3) and optimal (profiles 1 and 2) CDK4/6 inhibitor response
Comparison of CDK4/6 inhibitor response profiles across the three CDK 4/6 inhibitors

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Health services research (DiviTum-TKa)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients undergo collection of blood samples per SOC on days 1, 15, and 28 of cycle 1, days 15 and 28 of cycle 2, days 15 and 28 of cycle 3, and day 28 of subsequent cycles for up to 12 cycles for analysis by DiviTum-TKa in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
